"I absolutely love the vocal on this track and really enjoyed working on it. Been playing it in every set since I finished," said Guy Gerber. "I was happy when I was approached to be part of Monkey Safari's new single remix, said Josh Wink, not all remixes I do happen quickly, but this interpretation was completed in only a couple days. This became a hypnotic eyes closed musical journey for me. There is a 4 minute break in the song where there is no kick- This is where I imagine people will get hypnotized and lost in the layers and pulses of sound. I've played it out and am very happy when I see the crowds with their eyes closed, lost and smiling. Waiting & yearning to know if and when the heavy kick will come back in. Then it all erupts! Lots of fun taking chances with this remix and glad to know that the Monkey Safari Crew like and trust my interpretation! Whether it be remixing Marc Houle for Richie Hawtin's Minus imprint, taking to the DJ booth at the worlds most infamous festivals such as Time Warp or Awakenings or being featured on Pete Tong's legendary 'Essential New Tune' selection, the duo have achieved an exceptional amount of success that continues to grow. 'Walls' carries the message that Monkey Safari are here to enchant and unite dance floors across the world with their soulful, experimental and captivating dance music.
